Solution

The correct options are
A The peasants protested against the forest department.
B The peasants refused to perform free labour.
The Forest Department took over the lands of the peasants of the Kumaon area. The peasants began protesting and soon stopped cooperating with the Forest Department. Apart from disregarding the rules of the Forest Department, they also burnt forests used by independent contractors. They refused to perform free labour. The British government was forced to change its policies and make the rules less strict.
